Junior High

Our junior high ministry is a fun and welcoming place for students in grades 6th through 8th. We know that friends are important to all junior highers and we try to foster deep relationships with friends, old and new, that share your faith in Jesus. We welcome any student that wants to learn more about God and wants to take the next step in their faith.

We meet every Sunday morning at 9:00a and every Wednesday night at 7:00p in the Junior High Room, located in the Student Center.

High School

Welcome to Real Life High School Ministry! We are here to help high school students find and follow Jesus Christ. We get our name from Colossians 3:

"Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory."

We know that the only real life is found in Jesus Christ and we are desperate for our friends and family to have that life. Now don’t get us wrong. We aren’t perfect and we don’t have it all together. The difference is that we live for Jesus and Jesus lives in us. You are more than welcome to come just as you are and find out more about what Jesus has done for you.

We meet every Sunday morning at 9:00a and every Wednesday night at 7:00p in the High School Room, located in the Student Center.

Hume Lake is the best place for junior high and high school students to be during the summer! It's located in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest and has been sharing the love of Jesus since 1946. We are blessed to be able to go there every summer.

Upcoming Events

BIG Wednesday

Wednesday, May 30th from 7:00p to 9:00p

BIG Wednesday is a Wednesday Night Bible Study where we go BIG by orienting the entire night around Hume Lake Summer Camp, and with that we raffle off scholarships for Hume Lake. We believe in sending every student we can to Hume Lake and we believe this is a simple and fun opportunity to help make that happen. So how does the raffle work? 1. Show up, just by showing up students can be entered to win a partial scholarship towards Hume Lake. 2. Bring a friend, students who are bring friends gain an extra entry per friend to the partial scholarship raffle and new friends that come then enter a chance to win a full-ride scholarship!

Hume Car Wash

Saturday, June 30th from 8:30a to noon

It’s crazy to think that our students will be leaving in a few weeks for Hume Lake Christian Camps! We are so excited to see what God will do in them. But before the kids jump on the bus, they will be holding their annual Car Wash-A-Thon to help raise money. It’s like a jog-a-thon, students get sponsored per car and then on Saturday, June 30th, they wash as many cars as they can. It’s a great way for the students to raise money for camp. Also, it’s FREE to have your car washed! Whether you sponsor a student or not, bring your car and the kids will wash it, absolutely free! So make sure to stop by Saturday, June 30th between 8:30a and noon and help our students get one car closer to a great week at Hume Lake!
